Wouldn't that make it a "meta-co-op"? Whatever you call it, this could this be the solution to the problem which seems to face the Olympia Food Co-op at present; namely, that it will potentially be inhabiting a space that is roughly twice as large as it can fill. A meta-co-op could provide an organizational structure within which negotiations and agreements could be made among local co-ops who would like to join in the rehabilitiation of the post-Safeway building in downtown Olympia. A whole bunch of co-ops under a single roof! Just a thought.

Coop expansion?
Submitted by hrstruggle on Mon, 05/14/2007 - 11:31am.I've always felt the population of Olympia could support a larger food coop - I'm sure the folks at the coop have done more research than me but based on population sizes, we could definitely support a bigger coop. I compared our city size to Bellingham and Port Townsend which have REALLY nice coops:
